F16 – Individual and team attacking play through games based training for youths/adults

Mallow GAA Complex 7.30pm Fri 19th February

“Individual & Team Attacking play through Games Based Training (youths/adults)

A former manager of the Laois Senior Football team, Sean is highly regarded as a manager and coach. During his spell with Laois minors he turned them into one of the top underage teams in Ireland, the highlight being the 2003 All-Ireland Minor Football Championship. He managed the Laois under 21 side to successive Leinster titles in 2006 and 2007 and to an All-Ireland Final appearance in 2007, where they were defeated by Cork.
Sean is an innovative, modern thinking coach who delivers with great energy. He will guide coaches through a session on how to develop individual and team attacking prowess through games based training.

Much research has been undertaken in recent years with regard to the effectiveness of warm ups.
This particular warm up has been designed and researched with evidence to prove that the exercises will reduce occurrence of injuries in players once implemented over a period of time. The exercise technique is critical to the successful implementation of this Programme. It is designed for training sessions with a modified version to do before matches.
Following on from our strength and conditioning workshops held in conjunction with UCC Science Department we are pleased to announce details of workshops which deal specifically with pre training (warm up) activities as opposed to formal strength and conditioning work.
All clubs should get coaches of youth & adult players from their clubs to one of our workshop venues.
